Why do Microsoft Works files get corrupted on floppy disk and how can you retrieve the file?
A file can be corrupted on a floppy disk any number of ways.
Some of the more common ones are whenever you put the floppy disk
near a magnet or some other source of ionized metal, if you try and
pull the floppy disk out of the tray before the computer is done
reading or writing it, or even if you somehow expose the inner part
of the floppy disk to any type of electronic device (because of the
electromagnetic waves that the electronic device gives off). As to
how to retrieve the corrupted file, I don't know of any way to
retrieve it.
